Chalet Detente (chalet)

Home description

Chalet 'Detente' which means 'relaxation' is a comfortable holiday home suitable for couples or families. Situated as it is, on an ancient 'Domaine agricole' it is within easy reach of the Rivers Dordogne and Vezere, and close to the market towns of Cadouin, Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, and Le Bugue. This is an area well suited for the tourist, as there is so much to see and do, whatever your age, ability or interest.

Chalet Detente is set on a gently sloping hillside, with views from the terrace down over the forest and meadow, here you will see nature at its best, with red squirrel, and many species of birds. In the forest are deer and wild boar,'sanglier' . Here also children and adults have plenty of space to play and relax, as the chalet is located in a quiet area of the park, and yet within 5 mins. walk of all the leisure, pools, shop, office facilities etc, of the park.The holiday park is very family friendly, but adults seeking peace and natural beauty will find it here.

The Dordogne is an area rich in history and tradition, not to mention its famous wines and regional foods. Beautiful medieval and bastide towns, its chateaux, vineyards, walnut orchards,troglodyte dwellings, pre-historic cave paintings, and of course its wonderful forest and field countryside, make this an ideal holiday destination. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break, or an energetic holiday, you will not be disappointed!

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Dordogne region

The Dordogne has a temperate climate, Summers are generally hot and dry, and winters are mild.The Perigord, which is the cultural name for this area, comprises four regions. The 'Perigord Blanc' which ,surrounds the town of Perigueux, is an area of limestone cliffs and plateaux, divided by wide river valleys. The 'Perigord Noir' in the South-east of the Dordogne has deep valleys, pine forests, chestnut coppices, walnut orchards, and fields of tobacco,(where the chalet is situated).The 'Perigord Vert' with the town of Nontron is an area of lakes & valleys, chestnut trees, and pine forests. In the South-west, the 'Perigord Pourpre' is an area close to Bergerac, here lie orchards and vineyards.
Second to Paris the Dordogne probably has the richest heritage of historical interest in France, for example.
Many prehistoric sites - Lascaux, Fond de gaume
1500 chateaux and manors - Beynac, Castelnaud
Troglodyte sites - Le village de Madelaine, Le Roc St christophe
Geolical sites - Le Grand Roc, Caves de Proumeyssac
Fortified walled towns - Domme, Monpazier
400 Roman Churches.

The 13th century bastide town of Monpazier, is well worth a visit,built by the English, the town still has its medieval market place, and surrounding arcades.Brantome on the banks of the Dronne, is known as the 'Venice of Perigord'. Sarlat-La-Caneda is a large town, where on a Saturday, is reputed to be the best market in the region. Tremolat and Limeuil are lovely villages on the banks of the Dordogne, where you can sit in a riverside cafe and enjoy the sights. Cadouin is home to the 'Cloitre de Cadouin.' This Abbey is cited as one of the 'sites de Patrimoine mondial' of the pilgrim routes of the 'Route of Saint Jaques de Compostelle.The holy shroud of Cadouin was an object of pilgrimage for eight centuries. These are just a few of the delights of the area.

If you enjoy water sports, the River Dordogne, offers Kayaking and Canoeing, fishing and swimming possibilities.

There is also an excellent tourist office.
